How shadow AI use exposes governance gaps

Dr Karen Sutherland explores AI governance, executive priorities, frontline issues, and regulation impacts

A new report has uncovered a growing divide between executives and employees over the use of shadow AI, with nearly 70% of C-suite leaders admitting they prioritise speed over security.

Experts warn the gap could expose businesses to cyber threats, compliance failures and reputational damage as AI adoption accelerates.

What needs to change to restore trust and balance innovation with responsible AI use?

Dr. Karen Sutherland from UniSC explains the risks, the opportunities and what stronger AI oversight could look like.
